Sometimes I Forget

Listen or buy

C F C
I still remember where you stood, a page torn from my memory.
There's no harm done in that, I guess,
G
but jaw dropped I looked your way.
F G C F
You smiled and asked, "What's wrong?", restoring to me my breath.
C F G C
With my lucidity returning, this was all I could think to say.
Chorus
F G
I did not forget
C F
It had just been a while
C G/B Am
I never got used to
F G
Your eyes and your smile
C G/B Am
It seemed like 30 years
Am Am/G F
And not as many days
C G/B Am
Well have I missed you yet?
F G C
Sometimes I forget
I still remember how I stared, picking up my pieces.
You laughed that laugh that took me back and shattered my world again.
I'm only a fool for you and should have known seeing you like this
would wash away all the work I’d done. I feel now like I did then.
F G
What I once thought was love
C Am
slips my mind when I think of
F G
was it real, so long ago.
F G
I can't remember what I'll never know.
I still remember how I felt the day you sent me reeling.
You smiled and you drove away with the heart you took from me.
I didn’t sleep at all; I was sure that I could call.
Now it’s clear that I'm just another one of your broken memories.
I will not forget, even though it may be a while.
I never got used to your eyes and your smile.
Even after 30 years I’ll still be counting days.
Have I missed you yet? Sometimes I forget
You know, sometimes I forget.
